Kanye West MTV

This year MTV Video Music Awards ceremony was a weak one in every way possible but it was the perfect place for Kanye West to express his grief saying, “MTV exploited Britney Spears and me!” The hip-hop/rapper reportedly said while chatting with a NYC DJ yesterday that MTV tried to end pop Celebrity Britney Spears’ career. He also said he felt like he got betrayed by MTV, because he convinced him into doing a performance from one of the remote suite locations, and not on the mainstage, in this way making it looking like he “so into everything that was going on in the show.” As you can imagine, Kanye West canceled scheduled performances/appearances on TRL and won’t be working with the network ever again. There is also an “inside” video footage on the Internet, with a quick search on youtube or google you can find it.

They exploited Britney in helping to end her career. When Britney was opening (the VMA telecast), near the end, I felt so bad for her. I said, ‘Man, it’s a dirty game. This game will chew you up and spit you out.’ I wasn’t mad that I just didn’t win any awards. For me, (MTV) made it seem like performing on the main stage was a bad thing, and the suites were just so great. It was my dream when I made ‘Stronger’ to open up the VMAs with a real power performance. And I just feel like I got betrayed by them. I feel like they tried to make it seem like I was so into everything that was going on in the show.

That’s two years in a row… give a black man a chance. I’m trying hard man, I have the No1 record. Honestly, I really don’t care. I don’t give a fuck about Britney performing. I should have opened the MTV Awards. It just shows you that you have to do shit to get ratings, and maybe they feel like they will get more ratings with Britney. Britney’s song isn’t as good as Stronger. This is some bullshit, and I don’t really care.
